Product Description

This ebook exposes crucial activities by libertarians with regard to the Big Bang of deregulation in the UK and how that deregulation came to hurt main street USA!

Libertarian thought receives very little criticism as to it's assumptions. We all have a libertine streak within us. However, that desire for unbridled freedom is quite different than formal libertarian philosophy. Becoming a libertarian requires buying into the assumptions of that philosophy.

The utopian ideals of the movement include some noble virtues, such as the elevation of peace and self reliance. However, other assumptions about human nature are simply not based in real observation. This relates not only to their views about race and economics, but about their views of the role of government in our lives. All Americans should have a healthy mistrust of government, because that is how a democracy should work.

However, libertarian assumptions go way too far. There are other institutions besides government that have proven themselves untrustworthy, such as the too-big-to-fail banks in the United States and even the Federal Reserve Bank. While I am in agreement with the Libertarians on that score, the libertarian solution is not in the interest of mainstreet at all. We can look into those institutions as well as into European and UK economic behavior for answers for how we should view libertarianism going forward.

Libertarian thought was buttressed by the way the Captains of Industry (the Robber Barons) ran roughshod over regulation in the Gilded Age. Yet, their solution is to have no regulation at all. The assumptions made in the foundational thought of libertarians is flawed, as is the concept of no regulation. Lessons from Wall Street and especially from Thatcher's Great Britain will give us evidence of how American society has become separated and divided, and subject to the New Financial Order.

Even freedom has been turned on its head by libertarian thought. Before any of you decide to choose that philosophy as a path to freedom, this little book will give you pause. If you want to combat the fevered arguments of your libertarian friends, this ebook will give you lots of ammunition with which to cope with their half truths and false assumptions. 

Libertarianism is both a philosophy and a passion. But that passion has already done great damage to the world, and to our nation, as you will see. Even though libertarians say they want freedom, the roots of the philosophy were revived in societies with weak democratic principles.
